Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers (Original Animated Series)
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay It might be because I only recently finished watching the mediocre The Replacements animated series, but Rescue Rangers holds up really well. The animation is superb, the stories are varied, the characters, be they main, recurring, or appearing only once, are well rounded and interesting.…

Casanova’s Big Night
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay I’m gonna level with you. I remember very little of this film. I had to take a refresher course. I know Bob Hope is a tailor and he keeps biting people’s lapels and cuffs apparently to tie up some loose thread after which he smiles…

Cinderella (2015)
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay This kicked off Disney’s endeavor to turn all their animated films into live-action abominations that completely miss the point of the original stories. Okay so Cinderella was pretty good and gave us a lot of hope for the future live-action treatments which might have added…

Cutie Honey (Live Action Movie)
A Non-review by Prof. Popinjay Don’t judge me. So “Cutie Honey” is a live action film based on an anime rife with fan service. Was this film rife with fan service? A little. Was it a masterpiece of human literature manifested in cinematic form? Eh, no. But I really wasn’t…

Covenant Rider
A non-review by Prof. Popinjay There was nothing I didn’t like about this movie. It was a gripping story with plenty of humor and drama and a good ending. The part I appreciated most was the fellow who, even though he was pressured to join a band of misfits against…

The Court Martial of Billy Mitchel
A non-review by Prof. Popinjay As soon as I realized this wasn’t an Abbott and Costello film I was so disinterested. But I watched it anyway and I’m so glad I did. The title “The Court Martial of Billy Mitchell” conjures images of some goof-off in the military getting canned…

The Count of Monte Cristo (1974)
A non-review by Prof. Popinjay I used to be a fan of the 2002 version of “The Count of Monte Cristo” with Jim Caviezel. That is until I saw the 1974 version. The 2002 version had a Hollywood ending where all the good guys were happy and the bad guys…

Cold River
A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay Another movie about two kids lost in the wilderness? Oh no! Did Pa find his Super 8 camera again? And after we tried so hard to hide it from him after his last cinematic masterpiece Black Thunder Mountain. Okay so it’s not the same “film…

Clash by Night
A Non-Review by Prof. Popinjay ——I don’t intentionally watch films I won’t like just to write a negative review of them. I might have liked this one! It was entirely possible! I just didn’t. Pure drama from start to finish. Everybody mad at everybody else. The only comic relief was…

Chariots of Fire
A Non-Review by Prof. Popinjay This is a classic! An epic tale of two stalwart runners with unshakable integrity! One, a man of Jewish heritage facing persecution from unsympathetic genitals and the other, a role model to Catholic and Protestant children from Ireland! Their respect for each other is palpable…
